Scott Tillemma, a hostage negotiator and keynote speaker, joins Honestly Unorthodox to explain the wide range of business and conflict situations in which a negotiation skillset is the best "back-up" we can possess.

The differences between compassion and permissiveness, parenting styles, and the means by which we tell ourselves we're "morally good" are at the core of much discourse surrounding therapeutic fields. With so little guidance as to what "morally good" or even "virtuous" looks like, we customize our own categories to make ourselves fit. Dr. Merrill Winston joins me today (as a continuation to our podcast with Paulie) to discuss empathy gone wild, excessive compassion, PTSD/CPTSD, and why the DSM should always be a piece of material we fall back on.

Do I ruin science, or do I simply expose the aspects of it that we tend not to like? My take on Trauma-Informed Care, how research enjoys telling us to look the other way, and how the field has resorted to functioning as a popularity contest.

Adam joins Honestly Unorthodox today to inspire us through poignant conversation around self-governance and the ability to overcome obstacles as a form of intervention in and of itself. While some populations are profoundly impacted by their disability or illness, the onus must be on ourselves to learn invaluable skills to take control over our own lives instead of waiting around for the accommodations that we feel we're owed. Hint hint: we're not owed anything.

"Race2Dinner" is a "program" developed by Saira Rao in which a bunch of white women are invited to a dinner and told how inherently sinister they all are by Saira Rao and co-host Regina Jackson. My panelists today join me in discussing one of the hottest topics of modern day: racism and anti-racism. Oh, and one of them got conveniently bombarded in a comments section based on her skin color, which apparently wasn't racist at all.
